Archive:4.4.3: SEP sesam OS and Database Support Matrix

From SEPsesam
Revision as of 18:12, 23 January 2015 by Lhu (talk | contribs) (spelling corrected)

The support matrix specifies all supported configurations and versions for SEP sesam solution. SEP sesam detects the configured hardware in your environment automatically. Note that SEP sesam only recognizes storage devices known or listed by the operating system, such as O/S where the Master Server/Remote Device Server will be installed. For details, see Storage Hardware page.

SEP sesam Backup Servers and Clients

Versions older than 4.4
For each OS, the latest version is listed thus ensuring that the listed version works together with 4.4 SEP sesam Server. For example, a SLES7 running version V3.4 of SEP sesam Client will be backed up by a SEP sesam Server V4.4.1. There will be no development for versions prior to V4.4, however the support and bug fixes are still available.

It is recommended to upgrade the SEP sesam server and client components to the latest version during the regular upgrade process. This ensures the highest possible protection of the SEP sesam clients. Customers with a valid license are eligible for a free SEP sesam upgrade for any new release until the license is valid. Before upgrading your SEP sesam environment, check the support matrix and compatibility.

Notes

Tar (.tgz) installation no longer available
Since SEP sesam V4.4 tar files are no longer available. For earlier SEP sesam versions, SEP provides generic tar (.tgz) installation kits of SEP sesam for Linux based on glibc 2.0-2.4 on i386/x86-64. They can be used for almost all Linux distributions, but SEP provides no guarantees of their usability. Support is available on a best effort basis.

Attention: No support is offered for tar installations on systems, where native packages are available.

SEP sesam Server 4.2 or lower compatibility issue
SEP sesam GUI version 4.4 does not support downgrading to SEP sesam Server version 4.2 or lower. Installing SEP sesam GUI 4.4 in the environment with a lower SEP sesam Server version causes errors due to incompatibility of SEP sesam GUI version 4.4 with older SEP sesam Server versions. Since there is no GUI backward compatibility and the GUI cannot be downgraded to version 4.2, you should download and install SEP sesam GUI version 4.2 to preserve compatibility with SEP sesam 4.2 or lower.
